Welp… Stroud is the guy, right?

Are we really sure none of the other bottom feeder teams will be able to out suck us for the top pick? I mean I realize firing your head coach and trading away your only offensive weapon are strong opening moves in that direction, but I wouldn't count the Lions out just yet. They have tons of experience at being awful. Who are the teams we might screw up and beat with a few key plays breaking our way?

There are some other really bad teams out there for sure, but we currently rank as the worst in the league and that’s before we started shipping off starters including our best player. I think we see Shaq go if someone calls for him as well. I just think we got the head start on tanking over the rest of the league and I find it unlikely we don’t finish with the worst record this season

Watching Stroud's highlights, and he really has me questioning my adamant position of "No OSU QBs ever, for any reason." One thing you can't argue is his placement is perfect, and you can't teach that. Every pass hits his receivers in the hands, in stride, where only they can catch it. I'm just sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Those two passes on the sideline...I've never seen anything like it at the college level. 0% margin for error and he nails them.

Yeah I will admit I don’t typically buy into the rule of not drafting players from certain position in certain programs narrative but it does usually warrant some consideration. But I don’t feel that for Stroud at all. Bryce Young is intriguing, Levis etc but Stroud to me is just the clear #1 QB. He’s arm and his pocket awareness are pretty advanced for the collegiate level and I like that he doesn’t rely on his legs when his first and second option isn’t available. He can move but it bodes well imo that he still waits fir his receivers to get open and trusts his arm.

While I love Bryce Young and would be very happy to have him, I think Young's size brings more Questions than the Logo on Stroud's helmet.  Stroud is the complete package and i'd bet a lot of money he goes first overall.

Every pass in a highlight reel looks good?

Exactly. Justin Fields dropped some dimes in the championship game before becoming a bust in Chicago. Right now I am thinking Kenny Pickett might be the best qb prospect of the last two drafts. It sure isn't Lance, Fields, Wilson, or Jones.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
